Pianist W. Kapell
Displays Talents
With Symphony
BY SAM WARREN.
A young college-aged man who
as any other young American
likes comical movies, Monty
Woolly, b o g g i e-w o o g i e and
scrambled eggs received press in
terviewers yesterday. That young
man was Artist William Kapell
who displayed his piano virtuosity
last evening with the Lincoln
Symphony Orchestra before a
crowded St. Paul's church.
Mr. Kapell proved that an artist
can be as human as anyone else.
Replying to the query as to what
he had been doing since hi ar
rival in Lincoln on Sunday, he
mentioned seeing "this picture-
'San Diego I Love You" that was
"the funniest thing I've seen in a
long time." "You'd have thought
by the title that it was juat an
other musical song and dance.
you know but none of that. It
was downwright funny!"
Is Bob Hope Fan.
Further comments from the
dark-eyed native of New York
City revealed that while" he was
a Bob Hope fan, it is Monty
Woolly who "just knocks me for
a loop," as he put it, smilingly
leaning back in his chair. And
although Clifton Webb didn't
"compare with Monty Woolly,"
Mr. Kapell recalled with great
amusement one of Webb's scenes
in the motion picture "Laura,"
which he mimicingly enacted for
the three intrigued reports as they
sipped their coffee in the Corn
husker Pastry Shop.

Play write Flavin
Says 'Legitimate
Stae Has Died9
Martin Flavin, novelist and
playwrite, spoke on "The Mori
bund Theater" Jan. 7, at 4:00 in
the Student Union ballroom.
The basis of his talk was that
the legitimate stage has been dead
since 1929 because plays cannot
satisfy the public in the inexpen
sive way that movies and radios
do. The hazards of productions
are the great investments and
often unsuccessful results.
The success of a play depends
upon co-operation between the
producer, director and audience.
As an example of a play produced
in such co-operation Mr. Flavin
listed "The Voice of the Turtle,"
now appearing on Broadway.
Mr. Flavin named his favorite
playwrite at the present time as
Lillian Hellmann, author of
'Watch on the Rhine" and "The
Little Foxes."

Between tripping the old wait

gossip, Ima Nut was having the
time of her lite. It was Monday

humming. Several girls fainted
at the sight of tne looa, wnnc
the noisier ones began beating
their neighbor over the head with
the nearest glass. The house
mother merely smiled, for she
was experienced and had worn
ear plugs.
Suddenly, the president rapped
on her class, and Ima looked up
to behold three mighty Mortar
Boards ready to give a speecn.
The foremost searched frantically
up her sleeve to find her lost
hand, and than favored us with
a wem.
The Blizzard's here, and snow's
in sight,
Get your sleigh and belle,
And be sure you're set for Sat

We know it will snow like
mad.
It's girl ask boy, the girls pay
all,
The masks hide which is which
So get a date for the big Snow

Ima was so pleased she began
to walk up the side of the wall.
"Just think, girls, my first date
in the university. And with a
man, too. If I can find one."
Pilfers Purse
After dinner, Ima snuck up
stairs and found $1.25, the neces
sary price, in some room. Then
she came back down, and subtly
passed out pamphlets saying, "Put
Ima Nut up for your Snowflake.
She has the shape and the tem
perature. You can't go wrong with
Ima Nut."
Then she went to the phone,

began practicing her new swim

Her date's name was Hassen

a campaign by which Hassen

Dear Friends:
I have been thinking about the
"Snowman." Especially was it on
my mind yesterday, when the
flakes began to fly.
My suggestion is Gene Dixon.
Gene would make a fine "Snow
man," because first of all, he is
a service man. (He's a sophomore
in Dental college and will soon
be yankin' the Yanks.)
He's president of his fraternity,
